Let Δ denote the discriminant of the generic binary d-ic. We show that for d ≥ 3, the Jacobian ideal of Δ is perfect of height 2. Moreover we describe its SL2-equivariant minimal resolution and the associated differential equations satisfied by Δ. A similar result is proved for the resultant of two forms of orders d, e whenever d ≥ e-1. If Φn denotes the locus of binary forms with total root multiplicity ≥ d-n, then we show that the ideal of Φn is also perfect, and we construct a covariant which...

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, $I$ an ideal of $R$ and $M$ an $R$-module. We wish to investigate the relation between vanishing, finiteness, Artinianness, minimaxness and $𝒞$-minimaxness of local cohomology modules. We show that if $M$ is a minimax $R$-module, then the local-global principle is valid for minimaxness of local cohomology modules. This implies that if $n$ is a nonnegative integer such that ${\left(H_I^i\left(M\right)\right)}_{𝔪}$ is a minimax $R_{𝔪}$-module for all $𝔪\in \mathrm{Max}\left(R\right)$ and for all $i<n$, then the set ${\mathrm{Ass}}_R\left(H_I^n\left(M\right)\right)$ is finite. Also, if $H_I^i\left(M\right)$ is minimax for...

We obtain, in a simple way, an estimate for the Noether exponent of an ideal I without embedded components (i.e. we estimate the smallest number μ such that ${\left(radI\right)}^{\mu }\subset I$).

Motivated by the paper by H. Herrlich, E. Tachtsis (2017) we investigate in ZFC the following compactness question: for which uncountable cardinals $\kappa$, an arbitrary nonempty system $S$ of homogeneous $\mathbb{Z}$-linear equations is nontrivially solvable in $\mathbb{Z}$ provided that each of its subsystems of cardinality less than $\kappa$ is nontrivially solvable in $\mathbb{Z}$?

We are extending to linear recurrent codes, i.e., to time-varying convolutional codes, most of the classic structural properties of fixed convolutional codes. We are also proposing a new connection between fixed convolutional codes and linear block codes. These results are obtained thanks to a module-theoretic framework which has been previously developed for linear control.

Let $K$ be a field and $S=K[x_1,...,x_m,y_1,...,y_n]$ be the standard bigraded polynomial ring over $K$. In this paper, we explicitly describe the structure of finitely generated bigraded “sequentially Cohen-Macaulay” $S$-modules with respect to $Q=(y_1,...,y_n)$. Next, we give a characterization of sequentially Cohen-Macaulay modules with respect to $Q$ in terms of local cohomology modules. Cohen-Macaulay modules that are sequentially Cohen-Macaulay with respect to $Q$ are considered.

In this note we give a description of a morphism related to the structure of the canonical model of the Rees algebra R(I) of an ideal I in a local ring. As an application we obtain Ikeda's criteria for the Gorensteinness of R(I) and a result of Herzog-Simis-Vasconcelos characterizing when the canonical module of R(I) has the expected form.

Let $(R,𝔪)$ be a standard graded $K$-algebra over a field $K$. Then $R$ can be written as $S/I$, where $I\subseteq {(x_1,...,x_n)}^2$ is a graded ideal of a polynomial ring $S=K[x_1,...,x_n]$. Assume that $n\ge 3$ and $I$ is a strongly stable monomial ideal. We study the symmetric algebra ${\mathrm{Sym}}_R\left({\mathrm{Syz}}_1\left(𝔪\right)\right)$ of the first syzygy module ${\mathrm{Syz}}_1\left(𝔪\right)$ of $𝔪$. When the minimal generators of $I$ are all of degree 2, the dimension of ${\mathrm{Sym}}_R\left({\mathrm{Syz}}_1\left(𝔪\right)\right)$ is calculated and a lower bound for its depth is obtained. Under suitable conditions, this lower bound is reached.
